Serious Crimes Case (Haifa) 9375-05-21 State of Israel v. David Abu Aziz - part 37

He also said, "What was most important for me at that stage with the investigators and detectives who were at the scene was to try to trace the escape route of those two suspects as quickly as possible, and indeed, within a short time, the investigators located a camera further down the street [...] which was further down Veterans Street.  After identifying the suspects turning right from the victim's yard, there were two options, either to continue to Veterans Street or immediately afterwards turn right onto the path that led down to HaMaginim Street, which is the parallel street.  From a quick examination of the [...] family's cameras, we identified that the two suspects immediately after leaving the victim's house were turning right, and at this point I instructed the investigators and detectives who were at the scene to begin searching along the path that leads to HaMegim Street and HaMaginim Street itself to conduct searches as well in order to see if they had turned there and if so, to see the continuation of the direction of escape.  The results were that in terms of physical findings, no findings were found, no assault weapons, no physical or other forensic findings, but later on, cameras were seized on HaMaginim Street, including one camera from a house on 10 HaMerkaz Street, to the best of my recollection, that this camera actually covered HaMaginim Street more or less in the area where the path that descends from Veterans Street connects.  This camera was very significant and we used it to identify that at around 05:00 a vehicle identified by us as a Chevrolet Malibu arrived, coming from HaMaginim Street from above and stopping near a parking bay that was on HaMaginim Street.  At first it seems that one of the suspects comes out of the left back seat, when I say suspects, I'm talking about two figures who are seen wearing teddy bear coats with a hat on their heads.  This is what we identified from those cameras.  The first suspect to get off begins to walk in the direction of the same path that descends from Veterans Street.  I will note that the camera does not cover the entrance to the same path, but we appreciated the connection of the things he was walking in that direction.  A few minutes later, the driver of the Chevrolet parked the Chevrolet in the same parking bay when it was actually under the cover of the camera from Center Street.  After he parked, the driver also got out and actually started walking up Defenders Street in the general direction of the trail that goes up for veterans.  Later on, and I go back to the veterans' camera, we identified the two suspects entering the yard of the victim's house and in fact, to the best of my recollection, until around 6:30 more or less, there was actually no traffic that was detected, when around 06:30 you see through the bushes in the yard of the victim's house some kind of incident that is difficult to see, but immediately afterwards the two suspects go out and turn right, as I said.  At this point, we identify the two suspects with their coats and the description I gave earlier, as they arrive at HaMegim Street from the direction of the exit of the path that leads from Veterans Street and they actually get into the Chevrolet car, this time both sitting in the front seats.  The driver and the second suspect on his right.  The Chevrolet begins driving in the direction in which the front of the car was directed in parking mode, in the direction of Derech Moshe Street.  Moshe Road is a very central axis that actually starts from Bar Yehuda Road down to the top towards the University.  Our assessment at this stage was that they had reached Derech Moshe and from there they turned to one of the sides, and from there there were many escape possibilities.  Later we checked cameras that were at the corner of HaMeganim Street and Moshe Road, but there, from watching those cameras, we ruled out that the vehicle came from Derech Moshe and then we started to check the other options, which were not many, but in the end we found out from the captured cameras that the Chevrolet from HaMeganim Street turned right onto a narrow one-way street, HaMeyasdim Street, turned in contrast to Ha-HaTonah Street, turned right there and later was recorded leaving HaMeyasdim Street to HaTishbi Street.  There, it was recorded by several cameras, in fact, until it reaches the end of Tishbi Street to Anemone Road, which is actually the road or road that leads at the end towards Isfiya.  Additional cameras that we located there, some of them of the local authority and some of them civilian, we identified the Chevrolet coming to Isfiya and actually driving along the main axis that crosses the villages of Isfiya and Daliyat al-Carmel in the direction of the Elyakim Junction rules."
